Rage Against The Machine - Intro (black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos) lyrics

[Intro] [Zack:] Hey check this out right about now.... I wanna introduce a brotha...who came all the way outta here from Long Island, New york. And he's one of the fathers of revolutionary music in our time period. He was a huge influence on us and we wanna bring him out right now. So check it out, we got a man by the name of Chuck D, from Public Enemy. Yeah. [Chuck D:] Wa**up, wa**up! Zack: Yo.... [x5] [Chuck D:] "I got a letter from the government The other day I opened and read it It said they were s**ers They wanted me for their army or whatever Picture me given' a damn - I said never Here is a land that never gave a damn About a brother like me and myself Because they never did I wasn't wit' it, but just that very minute... It occured to me The s**ers had authority Cold sweatin' as I dwell in my cell How long has it been? They got me sittin' in the state pen I gotta get out - but that thought was thought before I contemplated a plan on the cell floor I'm not a fugitive on the run But a brother like me begun - to be another one Public enemy servin' time - they drew the line y'all To criticize me for some crime - never the less They could not understand that I'm a Black man And I could never be a veteran On the strength, the situation's unreal I got a raw deal, so I'm goin' for the steel" Yeah!
